Lebanese media report that the Lebanese army has sent heavy engineering equipment to the village of Touline in southern Lebanon to excavate a site where Israel says a Hezbollah tunnel is operating.

Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton said that Trump believes Vladimir Putin is his friend and assumes that a good personal relationship translates into good U.S.–Russia relations, calling that view a major oversimplification. Bolton argued that Putin does not see Trump as a friend at all, but rather as someone he can manipulate, drawing on his KGB training.
